2014年菲律宾政治、经济与外交形势回顾

A Review on the Political,Economic and Diplomatic Situation of the Philippines in 2014

2014年,菲律宾国内政治局势因为"猪肉桶案"而引发剧烈震动。众多参议员、众议员和政府高官被爆出贪腐丑闻。阿基诺因为"支出加速方案"被裁定违宪以及通过修宪以实现连任的企图而受到多方指责。经济形势在取得高速增长的同时,也面临着经济成果无法惠及普通民众以及如何实现可持续增长的困境。菲律宾将中菲南海问题提交国际仲裁的程序仍在继续。与美国、日本、越南等国关系的增强进一步刺激了菲律宾敢于继续恶化中菲关系的冲动。

The domestic political situation in the Philippines has been shocked by the ＂pork barrel＂. Many sena- tors, congressmen and government officials have been involved in this corruption scandal. The Supreme Court voted unanimously to strike down as unconstitutional specific acts under the controversial Disbursement Acceleration Pro- gram of the Aquino government. Aquino attempted to extend his term by amending the Constitution, but this thought was subjected to numerous criticisms. The Philippines was the second fastest growing economy in Asia, but ordinary people hardly benefited from the economic outcomes. The arbitral proceedings are still continuing. While the Philippines developed better relations with U. S. , Japan and Vietnam, it continued its uncompromising policy towards China in dealing with the South China Sea disputes.
